Hello Seun/Mods,

I have been lurking here for some years now but decided to create an account so as to bring to your attention a disturbing trend I have noticed coming mostly from people of the SE who post here.

It concerns their consistent use of the ambiguous "SS/SE" which they subtly are trying to morph into one.

We all know the history of the disastrous old Eastern region and how minorities from the lower Niger were subject to severe marginalization by the majority Igbo.

We also know how all efforts by the so-called minorities to leave the old eastern region was systematically and ruthlessly shutdown by the Igbo majority in Enugu.

We are also not ignorant of what was the prime motive behind the declaration of Biafra after the Gowon military dictatorship created states which saw to the minorities in the old eastern region being carved out.

We also know how Biafra died a natural death after the annexed minority regions were liberated from the Igbo tyranny known as Biafra.

We are also aware of Igbo attempts to repeat this folly in the form of a revamped Biafran project under the Afro Zionists group IPOB.

Now we are seeing attempts by the Igbos to corral the peoples of the SS under a political and social umbrella by consistently and unrelentlessly deploying the ambiguous SS/SE nomenclature in all their posts regarding this coming elections.

To continue allowing this abhorrent and subversive nomenclature to litter this section is tantamount to bowing to both Igbo expansionist and annexation claims of the SS as well as an insult to the independence of the peoples of the SS, thus a support for Biafra restoration and seccessionism.

The SS is a region of diverse people with distinct cultural, political and tribal identities separate from the larger Igbo polity. Yes, we have Igboid peoples but they have always preferred to not have anything to do with the larger Igbo populace .

I suggest that henceforth, all posts that insists on using the ambiguous and paradoxical wordings of SS/SE be auto censored to " SS and SE" or better yet, the post flagged as spam, deleted and the poster banned.

Thank you.

Totally agree with op

if we refer to west we say southwest.

i wonder why some people always use SS/SE . i do seprate them, im so much aware of difference.

All of una na Southerners
Be u SS,SE or SW
Op is just pained by the proximity and
similarity of language/culture between SS and SE.
Op no reason am,
They are just cousins!!
What where u expecting?
U go see delta man: u go call am ibo man
U go see rivers man: u go call am ibo man.
Same with akwaibom and Calabar..
Even Dr goodluck Jonathan wey be ijaw from bayelsa state , una say na ibo man.

Urchin write up, southerners always disgracing themselves

For purposes of clarity, define SS and SE as it relates to the people inhabiting the geographical location and how it applies to your protest.

Who championed the creation of South-south? What ethnicities are listed in SS and SE?

Proximity of language ah

fman:
All of una na Southerners
Be u SS,SE or SW
Op is just pained by the proximity of similarity of language between ss and se

What is there to define ?

The SS is not part of SE or your future Biafra.

Nairaland owner can't do anything for you. You better get out of this Nairaland for us.

The old colonial administrative region known as eastern region has come to be known as an Igbo empire.

How come you do not subscribe to one Nigeria but believe in the lumped eastern region.

Just as much as you despise and fear the north so also do we have our reservations in being aligned with you igbos.

I believe you are still bent on repeating the old eastern region where your grand parents lorded over the minorities and stole their resources .

It will shock you .

Instead of saying that you have been creating stupid threads like these for years with several monikas that get banned. You're obviously not from the South South or South East, so what is your interest in these two geopolitical zones?

For your information, the constitution of Nigeria doesn't recognise anything called South East or South South, they dont exist. Agents of division everywhere

Fact, the people of SE and South South, are very different, in culture, discipline, mannerisms, value and even from our progenitors. Fools who don't know history lump both together.

There are igboid people in Delta, but a large part of Delta people have different progenitors, not same as Igbo people, they mainly originated from old Bendel. If you look at how they talk, their language, culture looks, very similar to Edo people.

This is a summary of Nigeria's 36 states, and how they emanated. Nigeria was operating a regional government, prior to the state system. As seen clearly, Rivers, Delta and Edo, all emanated from Bendel state.

As we can see Seun,only the igbos are up in arms attacking me over this request...

Does this not validate my points ?

Kaduna Nzeogwu must really be smiling at this stupidity of yours.



Remind me the region of the person that led the first coup

Remind me also what the coup was tagged......"south South coup" right?

Also which people suffered it the most??


If you don't know what to say....... keep quiet

Please do find it within your heart to resist that tempting urge of mentioning me.
Thanks for understanding

It has been over 50ys that regions were abolished but only the old eastern region remains in the eye of the storm over Igbo persistent attempts to annex it.

Just as we have the Fulani under Buhari restarting the jihad of Uthman don Fodio deep into the so-called pagan regions of the middle belt, so also are the Igbo bent on getting back their handed down colonial eastern region. A region that was the least harmonious compared to other regions in the south (western and Midwestern) over Igbo domination and margilaozation.

Igbo arrogance saw to both Benue province opting to be included in the northern region and also saw to western Cameroon leaving Nigeria to avoid them.

Can the igbos here deny that there was no attempt by the so-called minorities to leave the eastern region ?

Can the igbos, who have constantly mocked the SS people since the war ended, dismiss the overwhelming support given to Nigerian federal troops during the war ?

Why then do you still insist we are a part of you and your Biafra ?

Has it crossed your minds that we have our own agenda separate from being under your vassalage ?

This arrogance and belligerent nature towards appropriating the SS as part of Igbo land must stop.

Enough is enough.

You are a Yoruba man that is pained that Southsouth people are unwavering in their support for Peter Obi.

Your intention is to cause division between the two regions so that Southsouth will vote Tinubu instead of getting annexed by the Igbos.

If I ask you who you want Southsouth people to vote for in 2023, who would you choose for them?

Suffice to remind you we are not discussing the already established Igbo coup of Jan 15 which led to an Igbo quasi military dictatorship.

This thread was created specifically for Seun's attention to address the ongoing subtle attempts to corral the autonomous SS people from the ever coveting Igbo .
